My dirty, stinky boys who are always in need of a shower, we really need to talk.

Yes, you have to take showers. I know that kills you because you’d rather be doing something else, but they’re required!

Now, the issue comes in with the order of these showers. Is there really that big of a difference who goes first? In the grand scheme of things, who cares which one of you gets clean first?

When it comes to sibling rivalry, how does taking a shower fall into this category. So you went first last week and now you have to go first again? Everyone run for cover because the world must be coming to an end!

I know there will come a day when you actually WANT to take a shower, especially because girls will like you much better. I’d just like that day to come a little sooner than I know it will.

Until then, when I say it’s shower time, I want you guys to rush to be first, ok? Let’s all live in mom’s little fantasy world, at least for a short time. Thanks.

Love,

Your Squeaky Clean Mama

PS Boys, Mimi from Screaming Mimi brought up another point that I thought is important to share. Once you get in this shower you're trying to avoid, coming out 20 minutes later (Buddy) with that little body is a bit long dontcha think? Doodle, your 5 minute showers in no way constitute a full shower. In and out in 10 minutes. You can do it! Don't forget those dirty ankles!

Are you sure this isn't my house?! Oh my goodness .. my two sons are 2 and 4 .. every thing is a competition! They do shower together though ... but it's who is first and all that .. a race to get into the bathroom first oh and nevermind dinner! Dinner is a competition too, but luckily it's a competition of who chews their food longer wins! Thank heavens! I am going to subscribe I think I will enjoy reading more of what you write! Thanks so much for tweeting me today! (@brandyellen)
